Mausware, the small company behind the Finger Maus, a wireless mouse you wear on a finger, has gone from one product to a family of four. It has also signed up for a headquarters in one of downtown Richmond's best-known historic buildings. 3D Printing Industry reported on October 12 that the lineup now runs to the Finger Maus ULTRA, Blaze, ULTRA X and Spectrum, and that Mausware has reached an agreement to base itself in the Tredegar Trust building, also known as the Virginia Trust Company building. Beyond those names, though, the announcement is short on specifics. Only one of the four models comes with any technical detail, none has a price or a release date, and the boldest numbers come from the founder, not from any independent assessment.
Still, 3D printing is central to this product, not an afterthought, and that makes it worth a close look from makers.
A Mouse Built Around a Printed Structure
The Mausware website describes the Finger Maus as a lightweight wireless controller worn on the index, middle or ring finger. The device's structure is made from a 3D-printed, plant-based resin, which the company calls non-toxic and biodegradable. The site credits Max Eternity as the creator, with a 2010–2025 span attached to his name, and lists press coverage from Tom's Hardware, 3D Printing Industry and Techspot.
Building a consumer peripheral on additive manufacturing is a choice that shapes the whole business. A wearable controller has to fit a finger, and fingers vary widely in size. Printing the structure rather than injection-molding it lets a small company iterate on geometry without paying for new tooling every time a shape changes. A four-model lineup, plus the dozen-plus products Mausware says are in development, is the kind of rapid variation that printed parts make affordable at low volume. Neither source, however, explains how Mausware handles sizing or fit, what printing process it uses, or whether production is done in-house or contracted out.
The "non-toxic and biodegradable" claims also deserve care. They are the company's own description of its material. Neither source names the resin, cites test standards, or says under what conditions the material breaks down. Readers who work with photopolymers know that "plant-based" can describe a wide range of formulations, so the label alone tells you little about how the part behaves in daily use or at the end of its life.
Four Models, One Spec Sheet
Of the four new names, only the Spectrum has published figures, according to 3D Printing Industry: it weighs 23 grams and has five programmable buttons. That is a meaningful data point for a device meant to sit on a finger all day, where every gram counts toward fatigue. Five programmable inputs also suggest Mausware is aiming beyond basic pointing toward shortcut-heavy work, though the report does not say what software or configuration tools come with the device.
For the ULTRA, Blaze and ULTRA X, nothing has been disclosed beyond the names. There are no weights, button counts, sensor details, battery figures or connectivity specs, and no pricing or release dates for any of the four. The company's images show the ULTRA only as a 3D-printed prototype being worn by a user. Mausware says more than a dozen products are in development, but it has not described them either.
Some context helps here. The Finger Maus launched on Indiegogo in August 2025. A crowdfunded hardware company that announces a four-model range about a year later, with spec details for only one model, is telling people where it hopes to go more than what it is ready to ship. Prospective buyers should treat the lineup as a roadmap, not a catalog.
The Richmond Headquarters
The headquarters news is the most concrete part of the announcement. 3D Printing Industry reports that Mausware has reached an agreement on space in the Tredegar Trust building in downtown Richmond, Virginia, a century-old former bank designed by architect Alfred Charles Bossom. The report does not say how much space the company is taking, whether any manufacturing will happen on site, or when it expects to move in. It does say Mausware plans a preview event at the new headquarters, with details to follow.
The company's own site carries the news too: the Mausware homepage lists a post titled "Mausware Announces New Headquarters and Products," dated October 7, 2026. We did not find the four model names or any specifications on the homepage itself, so those details currently rest on the 3D Printing Industry report.
The Founder's Claims
Founder and CEO Max Eternity has paired the expansion with some large ambitions. According to 3D Printing Industry, he says a $10 billion valuation in the next seven years is "very realistic and achievable." The company also says individuals from several companies have expressed interest, including an offer from Microsoft to collaborate, while acknowledging that feasibility and vision alignment have not been reached. The company is seeking investors.
FilamentFeed has not been able to verify either claim. A valuation target is a founder's projection, not a financial result, and nothing in the available reporting describes current revenue, unit sales, funding raised or investors involved. The Microsoft mention, by the company's own account, is an offer that has not yet turned into an agreement. Neither source names who at Microsoft was involved or what the collaboration would cover. Until more is disclosed, both statements are best read as part of a fundraising pitch rather than as evidence of where the business stands.
That does not make the product less interesting. It means the hardware will have to make the case on its own, and so far only one model has given buyers enough information to judge it.
What It Means for Makers
For the maker community, Mausware is a useful case study more than a buying decision. It is a small company putting a 3D-printed structure at the center of a consumer electronics product and marketing the material itself, a plant-based resin, as a selling point. If it reaches real volume, it will be one more example of additive manufacturing moving from prototyping into end-use parts for wearables, where fit and low-volume variation matter most.
The open questions are the ones experienced printers would ask first. What resin is it, and how does it hold up to skin contact, sweat and repeated flexing over months of daily wear? How are sizes handled across different fingers and hands? How consistent are parts from batch to batch? And what does "biodegradable" mean in practice for a part that also contains electronics and a battery? Mausware has not answered any of these publicly.
Bottom line: the Spectrum's 23-gram, five-button spec is the one hard number in this announcement, and the Richmond headquarters deal is the one concrete business step. Everything else, including three unspecified models, a dozen-plus products in development, a Microsoft offer and a $10 billion target, is still a promise. Makers curious about finger-worn input should watch for pricing, release dates and independent hands-on reviews before treating any of it as settled.
